How the GOP uses crooked lists of "duplicate" registrations to disenfranchise voters

Kobach is the GOP mastermind behind this secretive system which purged 1.1 million Americans from the voter rolls. When Trump said, “This election’s rigged,” the press
ignored the second part of his statement: “People are voting many, many
times.” Trump cited three million votes illegally cast. The White House said Trump got this information from
Kobach. Indeed, it specifically comes from a list of 7 million names—or,
as Kobach describes it, a list of 3.5 million “potential double
voters.” How did Kobach find these three million double voters? He matched their names, first and last. And that’s it. Here’s an unedited screen-shot of a segment of his list:

...“Crosscheck” is not marked on the victim voter’s record. It’s a stealth
hit. And it’s deadly. Doubtless, Crosscheck delivered
Michigan to Trump who supposedly “won” the state by 10,700 votes. The
Secretary of State’s office proudly told me that they were “very
aggressive” in removing listed voters before the 2016 election. Kobach,
who created the lists for his fellow GOP officials, tagged a whopping
417,147 in Michigan as potential double voters. And not just any voters... the list was so racially biased that fully one
in six registered African-Americans were tagged in the Crosscheck states
that include the swing states of Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina,
Arizona and more.
